At Coates Brothers Roofing, one of the most frequent issues we encounter with residential roofs is shingle decay. Shingles can deteriorate when they become brittle and fragile, leaving your roof susceptible to leaks and further damage. These issues can result in costly home repairs, so we are here to share three straightforward tips to help you prevent shingle deterioration!
Keep Your Roof Clear of Branches and Debris
One of the most effective ways to maintain the health of your shingles is by keeping your roof free from branches, leaves, and other debris. After a storm or on a windy day, debris can land on your roof and potentially cause damage. Additionally, these materials can trap moisture, leading to the growth of moss and bacteria on your shingles. Over time, moss growth can lift shingles away from your roof, creating vulnerable spots that could lead to leaks. If you can’t safely remove debris using a garden hose from the ground, call Coates Brothers Roofing to help protect your roof and ensure your safety.
Watch for Signs of Shingle Wear
If you notice pieces of shingles or even whole shingles in your yard, gutters, or out of place on your roof, it’s a strong indicator that your shingles are deteriorating. At Coates Brothers Roofing, safety is our top priority, so we strongly recommend that you inspect your roof from the ground. If you suspect shingle debris in any of these areas, don’t hesitate to contact Coates Brothers Roofing for a professional inspection.
